It's not a bad science fiction novel, but it's nothing you haven't seen before. The language is there to service the plot. The characters are there to service the plot. It's not a bad plot. It's the future. There's lots of technology, most of which you've seen before in other science fiction novels, apart from the biology based science which isn't really relevant. There's two groups of people that don't like each other. There's some politicians that try to work a deal, and some people who aren't politicians who get played. Eventually some bad things happen and they all run around and either shoot at each other or run away from the shooting. You can guess the rest.
